SEASHORE OF NEW ENGLAND 

OF the thousands who annually repair to New England for their summer outing, a verv large proportion 
choose the seashore as their objective point. While there are seashore resorts in other parts of the 
country, none have quite the same quality of charm and climate as those of the Massachusetts, 
New Hampshire, and Maine coasts. 

From Cape Cod to the Bay of Fundy, including all that vast and indented line of water front facing 
the Gulf of Maine, there is stretched an almost unbroken string of summer resorts, some of which are pictured 
in the following pages. The scenic attractions of this alternately sandy and rocky foreshore are in themselves 
sufficient to fascinate and hold the devotees of outdoor life, but the added charm of the peculiar New England 
seashore climate completes the hypnotic spell. 

Somehow there has been negotiated a friendly understanding between the Gulf Stream, movnig eastward, 
and the Arctic Current sweeping down from the north, with the result that the summer temperature along the 
Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts coast is ideal for the purposes of summer rest and comfort. 

It is at these breezy and healthful resorts that boating, bathing, deep-sea fishing, and the various other 
outdoor pleasures incident to life at the seashore are to be enjoyed to the full. The social life at the larger 
resorts, like Old Orchard, Magnolia, Swampscott, Gloucester, Annisquam, Marblehead, Hampton, Rye, 
Newcastle, Kennebunkport, Kittery, York, Ogunquit, Peak's Island, Rockland, and Bar Harbor, leaves nothing 
to be desired. 

Many of these resorts — Marblehead, Newcastle, Isles of Shoals, and Kittery among them — are of much 
interest historically, as well as in the more conventional ways. There are "summer cities," too, like Portsmouth, 
Portland, and Boston (the most interesting of them all), in which the transient tourist may spend a few hours or 
days, with much profit, en route. 

Nor does the vacationist, anxious to commune for a season with old Ocean, need to confine himself to 
New England soil, for there stretch still eastward several hundred more miles of delightful seashore in the 
Maritime Provinces. St. Andrews, St. John, Digby, Halifax, and Prince Edward Island all may be visited in 
turn, and each has its own peculiar charm and characteristic. 

Whittier, Longfellow, and Celia Thaxter have sung their songs of praise of New England's seashore, and 
the chorus has been taken up by the thousands of summer pilgrims who have followed in their footsteps, 
and is swelling greater and grander every year.
